Locum doctors on rotation
Locum doctors support our practice alongside our regular GP team. This means you may not always be able to see the same doctor each time, depending on working days, annual leave, or availability.
Our locum doctors are fully qualified and work closely with the practice, providing the same standard of care and service as our permanent GPs.
What is a session?
A GP 'session' is a standard work block of 4 hours and 10 minutes, where a GP provides patient care via. face to face and telephone appointments, handles administration tasks, referrals, prescriptions, and performs other duties like home visits.
Many practices offer 10-minute appointments only, in line with BMA guidance, our GPs are allocated 15 minutes per patient appointment in order to give both you and them the time needed to help.
We understand 15 minutes does not always seem like enough, and our clinicians are all trained to work with you to prioritise your concerns within that window to ensure that both what is most important to you and what is most important medically are both addressed.
Occasionally, we may not be able to tackle all problems in one consultation, and you could be asked to arrange a further consultation.
Thank you in advance for understanding this.

Locum Practitioners
Our Locum Practitioners work across different days and clinics, so you may not always see the same clinician at each appointment.
They are highly experienced professionals who can assess, diagnose, treat, and support a wide range of health needs, working closely with the wider practice team to provide consistent care.
What is a practitioner?
All of our practitioners are registered professionals capable of assessment, diagnosis and treatment with independent prescribing qualifications. They all have access to a general practitioner to raise concerns with or ask for additional advice. Whilst they are able to treat you independently, we have an open-door policy in the practice, meaning they may advise you that they are going to additionally consult with a GP before confirming a final management plan with you.
